White House Press Sec. Tony Snow leaves office. He's been quoted as saying "When the money runs out..." he'd leave his post. According to one press report:
Snow, 52, announced his retirement from the position two weeks ago and finishes his tenure today. Though he continues to battle a recurrence of colon cancer, Snow has maintained that his resignation was not health-related. He said he wanted to spend more time with his family and hinted that the press secretary's $168,000 salary was too low...
Doesn't it break your heart? Snow can't get by on $168,000. Of couse the average salary in the US is less than $50,000.
Mr. President, if you're reading, I can get by on $168,000. But, of course I'd stand at the mic and tell the truth. I suppose you may consider that a liability.
Suppose Fox News is willing to throw a million plus at some ordinary Joes to save them from the money "running out"?
Doubt it. More likely they'll oppose any government policy that may help the common man, and save their charity for the six figure folks like Snow.
I'm sure Snow will be back at the "fair and balanced" network in no time. Replenishing his coffers with what passes for journalism at Faux News.
